First of all Happy New Year 🙂
I acquired your book on the 04/11/2014. Since then if I understand correctly you have updated the book and I should have received some email regarding the new download (?) I haven’t received any email … is that normal ?
Thank you in advance
Maciej

If you purchased the paperback, then Email/Forward your invoice for the purchase. I will reply and attach the updated PDF “Edition 2.0” to the email.
If you purchased the PDF version, a bulk email will be sent in the next few days with “Edition 2.0” attached.

Hello Bob,
Purchased your excellent book (no cover problems) from Amazon and would like to receive the free pdf version, so I can have it on my iPad for consultation anywhere.
I did not see a free downloadable version on your site. Can you arrange. Thanks in advance.

I expected to receive an e-mail message containing download information, but I have not. Please advise. Thanks!

Regards,

Michael Miller

P.S. I follow LuLa and have been aware of ETTR for years. Recently, I sold my entire Canon EOS system in favor of Micro Four Thirds (Panasonic GH4 and a few good lenses). I’ve been experimenting with GH4 spot metering coupled with exposure compensation (+2/3 to 5.0 EV). My results have been inconsistent, and I’m hoping to learn from your book exactly how to set proper EC when using the spot meter. Of course, the problem may simply be that GH4 spot metering is inaccurate. I’d bet on pilot error, however!

Thank you, I am pleased that you have grasped the understanding from the article. What you are describing is the OneZone Method#1 Using the Spot Meter. (Using the in-camera’s spot meter needs a little more consideration than a hand-held 1° spot meter… Please read that section)

“It would seem that EC to get from 18% gray to maximum brightness without clipping should be a fairly standard EV interval…”
Yes, I am calling this maximum brightness the the Optimum White Point (OWP) and that “clearly standard EV interval” the “OWP Exposure Bias”. You can determine this EC/Exposure Biasbias in Section A of the Procedural Methods Chapter II.

I look forward to hearing how you make out with your results.
Bob

PS I own a couple of Lumix GH3s which have produced many razor sharp 20×30″ prints. (no snickering from doubters out there.)

Anyway, when attempting to download it, I got an error page. I then pressed the back button and pressed download again, only to be told this time that I had used up the maximum number of downloads when I had, as yet, downloaded nothing. Please advise on how I should proceed.

I just bought the book through Amazon. Looking forward to reading the entire text.
Thanks for doing all the leg work and research to come up with this.
I tend to underexpose .3-2.0 stops to keep “the blinkies” away. That’s all about to change!

You indicated that purchasers of the book were also entitled to the PDF version.
How do I register for that?

This will all be done through the OneZone website… The exact logistics of this is still a puzzle for me.

I’ll need to figure out who has purchased the paperback… because of “Buyers Protection”, I can not be told who purchased the book either through Amazon or CreateSpace.

I’ll need to figure out how to automate this process to make this feasible. Being a photographer and not a programmer is certainly posing some challenges – but, I’m getting smarter all the time! 🙂

Thanks for your support, Bob

PS love the picture zoom tool on the website! Nice find.
Yes, nice find. I knew I needed a device to overcome the limitations of the printed page to show the qualities of the photos. It’s a free WordPress plugin… see, I told you I’m getting smarter all the time 😉

I would like to buy your “OneZone” book in PDF version but I have one question. I have an old (maybe ancient now) DSLR (Canon EOS 350D) and Lightroom 3 installed on my notebook. Is this equipment is sufficient to use at least 50% of the advice given in your book?

Just received the paperback version of your book — I guess cover issues did not delay it…

Anyway, I notice there are numerous links in the book. I seem to remember that on an earlier version of your website you had a solution for following the links (.pdf, version, perhaps?) for folks with the paperback version. Is there still such a solution?

“I seem to remember that… your website you had a solution for following the links for folks with the paperback version”
You remembered correctly…

Purchasers of the paperback version of this book are eligible for a free download of the eBook in PDF form containing dynamic links, notation and search capabilities. (need Adobe PDF Reader 10.0 or higher)

I will attach the PDF to you in a separate email.
Obviously I need to find a way to automate this process our own leather take another picture 🙂
I need to figure out some logistics of how to do this… not sure if I should do this in bulk or on request?

A quick question, was the front and back cover of your book clipped?
CreateSpace/Amazon was reviewing the issue yesterday… A 24 hour review –UGH!

The only thing I’m waiting for in the proof is to see what it looks like on paper before click the “Publish” button.

I cannot release the Kindle version until I okay the proof (click the “Publish” button). That is why there will be a small delay time between the Kindle release and the paperback. The Kindle release will be immediate… The paperback release will be a little longer than immediate availability. Hours? Days? I’m not really sure… This is the first time I’m using “CreateSpace” to publish a book.

Any of you who have thought about publishing your own book, I can save the “CreateSpace” experience has been wonderful.

Kindle: $0.99, PDF: $9.99. Does it mean I can purchase 1/10 of price with Kindle, I understand I need to wait till November 1 for Kindle?
If so, do I miss any advantage in PDF, other than I can easily copy extra file?

IYes, that is my intent to fight have lucked with Kindle and Amazon publishing.

Not being a Kindle user so I can’t speak with total knowledge but the Kindle version should have acted links. I’m not sure it would have interactive charts and graphs and, I’m not sure Kindle books provide any print function. This might be a difference if I decise to make my eBok prinable as have been asked by a few users.

The Kindle book is not available yet… Maybe this weekend or the beginning of next week.

Thank you for your comments on the article.

I find photos who

I think you are like most photographers who are exposing to the right. The additional exposure inches down the right of the histogram… There is still a lack of commitment to really move towards the rightmost end of the histogram. Hopefully, after reading this article, you’ll give your raw captures a little more exposure then you will get the maximum benefit from optimizing your digital exposure.
